Effi Briest – allerdings mit anderem Text und auch anderen Melodien

The play itself asks how to re-invigorate Effi Briest, one of those classic adultery tragedies – and so they add other text and other melodies. The result is an on-stage radio studio populated by Mad Men-perfect retro characters. Somehow, they manage this tonal mash-up without meanness or irony towards Effi and the characters from the novel: apparently, it just works.
